Introduction
Baking can be a fun and rewarding art. Many people get to bake as a hobby, others get to bake as a career. Many skills are necessary to have in order to become a successful baker. Keeping that in mind, breaking into the food industry can be a hard task for even the best of the best. Those who do make it usually end up with shows that allow them to share their expertise; such shows can be seen on the Food Network. But we have to wonder, how do they get these shows?
Task
Recently, the Food Network had to pull one of their baking shows off the air. The bakers in the show did not know how to work with rational numbers. This lead to their creations ending in mayhem. It is time for your dream of having a show on the Food Network to come true. The Producers of the Food Network are holding a contest to see who will win the newly emptied spot on the air. You and your fellow baker must create a baking show displaying your expertise with rational numbers in order to win the contest. You will be provided a recipe by the producers to ensure that every show entered into the contest is different. You have to keep the show between five and eight minutes long. In that time, you must show the audience how to double a batch by adding and multiplying rational numbers. Make sure to fully demonstrate your knowledge of rational numbers so you can wow the Producers and win the show.
Conclusion
All of your hard work has paid off! The producers of the Food Network were blown away with your skills. Not only did you add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers flawlessly, but you also made the most delicious cookies they have ever had! Unfortunately, the Food Network has decided to go another direction with the show, but do not fret. Your time and efforts were not wasted. The skills that you built for working with rational numbers can be applied everywhere you look. Just imagine the opportunities that await you! The only question now is, which will you take?
